I love dogs. I work as substitute mail-woman so my schedule is pretty flexible. On my route I deal with all kinds of dogs. 99% of the time even the "mean" dogs like me. I have had both dogs and cats all my life. Unfortunately, the place I live in now doesn't allow me to a dog so this is probably more for me then it is you because I need all the puppy love. Let's be honest who doesn't need puppy love? Everyone has busy schedules sometimes but why should your pets suffer? With me they won't. I will probably end up spoiling them a little but every pet should be spoiled every once in a while. Dogs are life and always will be.
